Government representatives have commenced the rehabilitation of four major health facilities, including the General Hospitals in Eleme, Khana and Terabor, as well as the K-Dere Health Centre in Gokana. These projects form part of the broader obligations presented by Ogoni stakeholders, which also include the establishment of the Federal University of Environment and Technology in Saakpenwa/Koroma, reconstruction of the Eleme axis of the East–West Road, priority consideration for qualified Ogoni youths in NNPC Limited employment, and interventions across critical infrastructure.

Sources indicate that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu dispatched a monitoring delegation from the Office of the National Security Adviser to verify progress on agreed projects. The team, led by Ojukaye Flag-Amachree, Director of Energy Security, alongside senior aides Goodluck Ebelo and Prince Austin Kabari, inspected key locations including the university site, ongoing road works, health facilities and the proposed industrial park.

Community leaders have confirmed that the government’s efforts are beginning to yield visible improvements. Mene Sunday Kabari-Nule, Acting Chairman of the Nyo-Khana Area Council of Chiefs and Elders, said residents were encouraged by the revitalisation of abandoned health facilities, noting that the projects would help reduce disease burdens in the area. He expressed optimism that the renewed government attention would translate into swift project completion.

Local stakeholders, including Taabaa Community Development Committee Chairman Elder Prince Neekpoabie, also voiced satisfaction, stating that the ongoing works had created job opportunities for youths who previously had no means of livelihood, contributing to a noticeable reduction in crime. Youth President Nwikeh Torue assured contractors of maximum community support and security throughout the project duration.

Project Manager Azubuike Lucky confirmed that cooperation from locals had been exemplary, adding that most workers on site were indigenes and that work had progressed without disruptions.
